End Carceral harmIce out of LA
About the campaignEnding Local Collaboration With ICE
L.A. County must stop enabling systems that separate families and criminalize immigrant communities.
The ICE Out of L.A. campaign works to end all collaboration between Los Angeles County agencies and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, pushing for policies that protect—not harm—immigrant communities.
What’s happening now
Despite being a so-called sanctuary region, local systems still play a role in transferring people into federal immigration enforcement pipelines.
These practices lead to family separation, detention, and deportation—causing lasting harm to individuals, families, and entire communities.
County agencies continue to share information and coordinate practices that funnel people into federal immigration enforcement.
These policies undermine trust in public institutions, making immigrant communities less likely to seek services, report crimes, or access care.
Families and communities are harmed when local resources are used to support detention and deportation instead of protecting residents.
We are working to fully remove ICE from L.A. County systems and ensure local resources are used to support, not criminalize, immigrant residents.
End all County collaboration with ICE and strengthen policies that keep local agencies out of federal immigration enforcement.
Build a County where immigrant residents can safely access healthcare, housing, education, and public services without fear of detention or deportation.
WHY IT MATTERS
Immigration enforcement is deeply tied to systems of punishment that disproportionately harm Black and brown communities.
When local agencies cooperate with ICE, they extend the reach of a system that criminalizes migration, destabilizes families, and undermines community safety.
Families deserve to stay together
Collaboration with ICE leads to detention and deportation, tearing families apart and creating long-term trauma.
Safety means protection
Communities are safer when people can access services and support without fear of detention or deportation.
Our SolutionRemove ice from county systems
We are fighting for an end to all local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
